Thread: very broken disco 1

Sadly, straight and completely drivable Discos are dirt cheap these days, so unless you're prepared to nearly give it away (read a handful of hundreds if lucky) then your only option to minimise loss will be to part it out yourself. Good bits sell to others, the rest to the scrap merchants once separated. There is a wrecker in Harcourt who has some Rover stuff from time to time, so perhaps try them if you're not keen on breaking it up yourself - Harcourt Auto Wreckers - Contact Us

Unfortunately these cars are not worth very much these days so any repair is going to cost more than it's worth. You will get more money out of it wrecking it and parting it out your self.

The cheapest option would be to pick up a body off ebay and swap the good bits over. I see whole cars go for as little as $500 at times. Put a wanted add in the market section for a good body. I sent a good one to scrap a couple of months ago as no one wanted it.

Sounds like you have chassis damage so that makes it a right off, as above either buy an engine-less vehicle and swap the bits over or strip it for parts.
I take it its not covered by insurance so if i was in your position i would be taking the parts swap into another vehicle route.

thanks heaps guys. off to the wreckers it goes. i dont have any room to part it my self unfortunatly (gotta get out the city!!)

ill start saving for the next one!!!

thanks again for the advice.

cheers. dave.
